Open HTML file in same tab using python script

Question

I am trying to open a HTML page using python script. With the following script the file opens in a new browser tab. How should I make it open in the same tab?

import webbrowser
import os
import urllib

chrome_path="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"
webbrowser.register('chrome', None,webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser(chrome_path))
webbrowser.get('chrome').open(os.path.realpath('image.html'))

EDIT 1:

I tried adding

webbrowser.get('chrome').open(os.path.realpath('image.html'), new=1, autoraise=True)

it opens in the same browser but not in the same tab.

in python docs : docs.python.org/2/library/webbrowser.html. I see webbrowser.open(url, new=0, autoraise=True) Display url using the default browser. If new is 0, the url is opened in the same browser window if possible — xPain

yes, I found that. And it opens in the same browser. But it opens always in a new tab. Is there any way to restrict it from opening in new tab — ron123456

one answer comes from firefox :support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/970999. Try it with chrome — xPain

I am afraid you need to do it through Javascript:

RefreshTab = '<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">window.location = \'%s\';</script>'
print RefreshTab % 'yourscript.py'
